Open Water (2003)

Open Water is a 2003 film inspired by a true story about an American couple, Tom and Eileen Lonergan, who in 1998 went out with a scuba diving group, Outer Edge Dive Company, on the Great Barrier Reef. They were accidentally left behind because the dive-boat crew failed to take an accurate headcount. There were 26 other divers and five crew members, all of whom failed to notice that the couple was not on board.
